Here is the full tweet from @KlingonKnitter on 16 June 2010:

I tracked the origin to the now defunct tweetinklingon.com web site, which w=
as part of the promotions for the Star Trek Online game. It saved the origin=
al English for each mock-Klingon tweet so readers could "translate" what was=
sent. Those records are no longer available, but based on other samples of i=
ts output I am pretty sure that "tlhIngan mu' vaDmuv" came from "Klingon wor=
d for join", with the English input being "Anybody know the Klingon word for=
join, knitting or knitter?"
